About ConnectAde:

Tom Valenti started ConnectAde in 2009 to provide family caregivers like himself with a better way to navigate the caregiving maze. Realizing that the caregiving journey can equate to the most expensive and exhausting scavenger hunt of caregiver's lives, Valenti created ConnectAde to simplify the process.
